How do I prime a 2.5d?

I've just changed both fuel filters but it doesn't want to start now!
When I took off in the inline filter I heard a bit of gargling like the fuel drained back to the tank. I've tried cranking it for a while but nothings happening! What do I do?

The fuel system is self priming just keep turning the key but don't over heat the starter and fill the the main canister filter with clean fuel

Best have a mate with a spare car to jump it as it takes a lot of cranking to get the fuel through.

+1 on filling the canister filter with fuel first.

A friend spraying "Easy Start" into the air intake will help as it will run on the easy start and spin the fuel pump faster that the starter motor and pull the fuel through quicker.

I was told years and years ago by "old school" diesel mechanics only to use Easy Start as a very last option as the engine becomes "addicted" to the stuff and in time won't start without it.......... feckknows
